Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 728 Primordial Divinity of Gaia

Turning around to a collapsed Dragon, Shiro sighed in relief and walked up to the corpse.

Crouching down, she saw a Sigil similar to the one she had received from Ouranos.

Tapping it, she watched as the Sigil faded into her body.

[Primordial Divinity of Gaia]

- You gain control of the great earth and can transform the landscape to your liking so long you have enough energy.

- You are able to enchant your weapons with the petrification enchantment which turns people to stone. The process may take longer depending on their resistances.

- You can control the forest and command animals to a certain extent.

- You can gain energy back by meditating in a forest.

- You can coat yourself in a layer of hardened material and greatly increase your defence.

- You gain full freedom in the Section of Life which allows you to kill at will.

- You are able to create golems that are infused with some of your power.

- You are immune to petrification and can dispel it at will.

- You can grow plant life such as trees to help you during combat. They will not go away unless you will it. They can however be cut down like normal trees.

- You can expend 20% of your energy to release a flash of light that petrifies everything in range of you. This effect weakens the further out they are. The limit increases depending on how much energy was used in the 20% initial cost. After use, you cannot use this for another 3 days.

Reading the benefits she received from the divinity, Shiro raised her eyebrows at the mention of petrification.

Not only did she obtain the ability that the dragon had used for an AOE petrify, but she was now immune and can dispel it at will.

Looking down on her sword that was still partially petrified, Shiro tapped her finger on the surface and sighed in relief.

It seemed like the petrification didn’t turn everything to stone and there was still metal left inside hence why it didn’t break the moment she hit the dragon.

Dispelling the petrification, she was a little sad that the sword was slightly chipped on the edges but she figured that she could probably hand this back to Maria for it to get fixed.

Snapping her fingers, she commanded Error to return to her so that she could fix its petrification.

However, before she could, she watched as Error dispelled it on its own.

"You got Gaia’s power too?" Shiro raised her eyebrows in mild surprise as Error bounced around in joy.

Chuckling to herself, Shiro wondered how she could leave this place since there was no need for her to hang around.

Just as she thought of this, a golden gate appeared before her.

Shrugging her shoulders, she entered.

Once the light died down, she found herself back at the base of the tower.

Glancing up, she smirked for a moment before making her way back to Beril’s shop.

Now that she had obtained Gaia’s divinity, she only needed three more before her trial here ended.

Thinking about the remaining divinities, Shiro was most excited for the one pertaining time. While Nyx’s divinity might the most powerful, she didn’t have an ability to do with time yet so she wanted to get that soon.

Knocking on Beril’s door, Shiro waited for a moment but heard no reply.

Furrowing her brows, Shiro knocked again and waited for a few more seconds.

’Hm... that’s strange. Maybe she’s busy with something.’ Shiro thought to herself as she was about to leave. But just as she turned around, she saw a crystal butterfly land on her shoulder.

"If you’re wondering about where Beril had gone, she’s currently making her way to the emergency meeting that we’re holding lil’ cutie." A voice rang out as Shiro recognised her to be the same person who had given her the map previously.

"What’s the meeting about?" Shiro asked.

"About the culprit and what we need to do about the Ancient Terror. The situation has changed hence why we’re holding an emergency meeting. You should come too since the other hero candidates are already making their way over. They haven’t achieved 6 slots yet but they’ve managed to unlock their fourth one and obtained new divinities. One of them barely managed to obtain Tartarus’ divinity so we have two primordial divinities on our side for now."

"Actually, I’ve just finished Gaia’s Divinity so we have three on our side." Shiro corrected her as she stayed silent for a moment.

"Pardon?"

"I completed Gaia’s Divinity. But since it was tailored to me, it was more offensive than defensive." Shiro sighed.

". . . I see, I’ll go notify the others. Setting that aside for now, you should make your way to the meeting."

"What’s the meeting about anyways? I’ve got more primordial divinities to acquire." Shiro furrowed her brows.

Struggling to find the words for a moment, the voice eventually sighed.

"It’s important so can I ask that you set the other divinities to the side for now? You already have two so it should be ok to delay things just by a bit."

Furrowing her brows, Shiro shrugged her shoulders and nodded her head.

"Fine. Tell me where it is, I’ll make my way there now." Shiro sighed.

"Great. Just follow the butterfly."

"No, just tell me since I can fly much faster than your butterfly." Shiro shook her head.

"Ok, in that case then go to the town of Granst near the border connecting to the Section of Sky. I’ll have a map prepared for you there."

"Can you get it done in the next day then?" Shiro asked.

"Hmm... I think I can manage."

"Ok, I’ll be there by then. Should I keep this butterfly on me or?"

"Keep it on you. That way I know where you are and can give you the map when you arrive."

Nodding her head, Shiro placed the butterfly in her bag and walked out of the city.

Once she was far enough away, she crouched down slightly and shot into the air.

Flying past the trees, her body flickered out of sight since she had received another boost in obtaining her third divinity.

###

It took Shiro less time than expected for her to arrive at the town of Granst so she had to laze around for a bit while waiting for the map to arrive.

During this time, she had experimented with the powers a little and realised something outrageous. With her being able to place petrification enchantments on weapons, it meant that her arrows from Artemis’ bow which almost never missed were a guaranteed hit of petrification.

Unless they used something to block her arrow, they’d be petrified instantly. Of course, her enchantment was a little weaker compared to when she used it on her sword but that was because the enchantment was stronger through direct touch.

When she used it on her sword, the speed of petrification was much faster than her arrow.

After some experimenting, the map had finally arrived and Shiro saw the meeting site.

The meeting sight was an old building used by the previous heroes located in the middle of the Section of Sky.

Since there were quite a few Air Tunnels around that area which allowed people to move around the Section with ease, they used it as their base.

Putting the map away, Shiro didn’t waste any more time and made her way to the base immediately.

With her Primordial Divinity of Ouranos, she was able to make a brand new Air Tunnel to increase her speed. Naturally, she had erased it behind her since she didn’t stop for food. If an average person were to use her air tunnels, they’ll starve and probably have a rough wake up when they get slammed against the ground.

Upon Arrival, Shiro could see a small temple of sorts as a woman was waiting by the entrance with a small smile.

"Hey lil’ cutie. You’re the first one to arrive." The woman smiled as she was similar to a more grown up version of Quella.

"Of course I am. Who else can move around as easily as I can?" Shiro shrugged.

"True. I’m still surprised by your speed though. Regardless, 20 sisters have already arrived including Quella and Tricia whom you’ve met before so come in." She smiled.

"Speaking of Quella and Tricia, I never asked you for your name." Shiro asked.

"Since lil’ cutie is curious, I’ll tell you. I’m Andre, the 13th sister." Andre smiled while gesturing for Shiro to enter the building.
